Saunders retires on the stool after 8. The Mexican crowd in Texas went nuts, but then they started to boo Saunders. I've got beef with that. Never boo a man who steps in the ring.

Alright fine. Never boo a man who steps in the ring with a fighter.

They haven't.

Medina Spirit won the Derby.

Do any trainers besides Baffert even try?

Under review. Supposedly, the horse got juiced.

Interesting.

Can't believe they'd change the result this late.  Think of all the money they'd have to try to claw back that was already paid out.

Paid bets stay paid.

Bob Baffert is the Lance Armstrong of Churchill Downs.

Before the season started, oddsmakers had the Knicks win total at over/under 21.5. That was the lowest total for any team in the league. 

They just won their 41st game and clinched 4th place in the East and home court in the first round.

Fun team to watch, too. If they could find a star to add to this current roster they’d contend.

I ***** love them right now. The whole team is made up of a bunch of dogs.

They just said Steph Curry will become the 4th oldest scoring champ. And I'm hearing this thinking "what? He's a baby?" Turns out, he's 33.

You hate wrong usage of then/than. Of is the bane of mine. "Should of..." "Could of..." Makes me want to set a person on fire.

Don’t forget anchoring something is a good thing though.

That’s the drum I’ve been beating since every yahoo on this site started referring to bad players (opposite of dawgs, pussies I suppose) as anchors.  I’m like wait, so that terrible player is the foundation of that line. Ironically, they are just not in the way you and I perceive things. Yes I’m HAF.

It’s all a matter of they're holding it down or holding it back I guess. GOAT is another one that bothers me.

A plug is also generally a good thing

"I could care less" is another one.  When someone says that, they are saying the exact opposite of what they meant to say, which is "I could NOT care less."

And melty is not a real word.

What context do you hear melty?  Can’t say I’ve ever heard it.

Yes you have. Commercials don’t say “melted cheese” anymore. They haven’t for years. They say “melty cheese.”

They’re what people who don’t want to spend half an hour deciding what to watch have to watch when they put something on to watch.

That awful Subway commercial that's on 50 times every sporting event.  Draymond Green saying "melty cheese" has been bugging me for a bit 😑

Commercials stopped saying melted at least ten years ago. I grit my teeth every time.
